Apologies if already posted, couldn't find any mention on search - but these popped up on tohereknowsweb yesterday.
Real or fake, you decide. They sound pretty plausible to me.

LOL. I've listened to them all now, they sound like the real deal

x-post
These are different tracks from the one posted at the beginning of that thread.
My first impression is that Bilinda Song is the strongest. Cowboy Song is very much an Isn’t Anything cast-off, and Kevin Song has the lowest recording quality, but the most Loveless-like structure.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh well that's pretty exciting - can not wait to get home & listen. i guess it was a better bet that internet leaks would beat the expanded glider reissue.

According to this thread: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?p=35417073
cowboy song is an outtake from isn't anything(1988) and the other 2 are post-creation so im not really sure

wow, these are quite good. maybe that glider album will come out in the next 10 years after all.

It seems these are some of the tracks off the long-delayed boxset:
DISC 4 - Unreleased01 Instrumental #202 Instrumental #103 Cowboy Song04 Good For You05 Sugar06 Kevin Song07 Belinda Song08 Glider (Long)
As good as these 3 tracks are, I can see why they haven't chosen to release them before. Kevin Song is just treading water with the rest of Isn't Anything, and the other two don't seem like any kind of progression has been made on an artistic level, from Loveless, if that is indeed where they date from.
Fantastic material for a rareties disk though, but I'm hoping for greater things from the mid-90s sprawl and, fingers crossed, new songs.

Big news but a little disappointing. Good quality control at the time I suppose.
― Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 15 July 2009 19:19 (fifteen years ago)
Right, of that list. 1 and 2 were on a free 7" single with "Isn't Anything", 5 was on a flexidisc with "The Catalogue", and 08 is on the "Andrew Weatherall Remix" 12". Leaving "Good for you"
So, not exactly "unreleased" hmmm...

"Sugar", "Instrumental 2", and the extended "Glider" are all amazing. I think that only the extended "Glider" has never been released on at least a promo CD. I'd be very eager to hear "Sugar" cleaned up a bit.

I like "Kevin Song" very much - reminds me of "Every Day Should Be a Holiday" by the Dandy Warhols, but that's probably just me.
